Preparing for Bundled Payments: Impact of Complications Post-Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting on Costs.

CONCLUSIONS: Preoperative characteristics had less of an impact on costs post-CABG than postoperative complications. Postoperative complications vary in their impact on internal costs, with reoperation, stroke and renal failure having the greatest impact. In preparation for bundled payments, hospitals should focus on understanding and preventing drivers of high cost. PMID: 32896546 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
